It was sold recently and I needed something new to play with.

So I've opted for a TDM 850 '93 Model.

Anyone know what rear shockers are interchangeable if any?

Any info on these bikes would be really handy.

I've taken the ugly bikini off.

Engine seems sound.
Local overhaul just completed.

I hear the R6 blue spot brakes fit?

I'd love to know what other Yam models are compatible with it for spares or upgrades.

I'm spraying it in white with black frame (Not really a Mad Manx colour.)

These are all new to me so learning curve ahead.

I'd like to single seat it,get a neater set of clocks,bellypan and indis need to go.

Go to Carpetdm.net for advice on what fits I'm 90% Blue spots do, a 17" front wheel is meant to be a good mod Too.

Thanks for the info.
Got a FZR shocker with 10k on it for £25 off ebay.
I'm thinking black suits 'em now.

Are you planning on getting rid of those fork gaiters? If so let me know I want a set on my 900 before the next winter.

I'll let you know if I do Chris.
Not got round to thinking about the front set up yet.

I've got a local lad who's fabricated some of the https://www.southern100.com/
bikes and will stubby the Can for me along with a few welding mods.

Of to the scrappys soon to see whats available

More pictures please! Looks like a nice bike. Probably going to get a TDM or TRX when my restriction is up...in what feels like a million years.

I found the brakes hard to bleed but I found bleeding it from the master cylinder did it quickly.

The stock rear shockers are pure shit and make me seasick.
I got the r6 shocker but the housing for the gas was fouling with the mounts.
The Triumph TT fits if shimmed out and is an absolute pleasure to ride (especially as I live on the Southern 100 course now) on the TT course(Isle of Man).

The brakes are a straight swap.
I overhauled them in about an hour and sprayed them gunmetal grey using hi temp paint.

https://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll9/manxhornet/Ipod.jpg

The side panels are off a CRF.
The clocks were changed to single speedo but couldn't calibrate it properly. I use the speed warning light on the course I live on
Over 80 it goes mental lol.
Remember there's no speed limit on parts of the Island.

It's been a nice bike to work on and I think I'm gonna keep this 1 as it really feels spot on for our twisty roads.

Love it! It's kind of a clean ratbike/survivalist!

[Madmanx]

I think it would really suit the FZR 1000 shockers
